Facility receiving requirements
Only Molecular Devices personnel are authorized to open
the crate(s).
Equipment will arrive in 2 crates. Shipping crate dimensions
and weights are shown below. Crates must be stored inside
and protected from environmental extremes until equipment is
removed. The instrument crate requires 10 feet of clearance on
one side to allow removal of the instrument from the crate.

Compressed air
Compressed air is required for the picking movement of the
picking pins. The optional oil-free compressed air unit draws air
from the local environment and delivers it to the instrument through
the regulator set to 100 psi (0.69 MPa).
Transport and storage
The robot must be stored and transported in temperatures within
the range -25°C to +55°C.
The machine should not be moved after installation. If relocation
is necessary, standard lifting gear is adequate but should
be undertaken only in the presence of a Molecular Devices
approved engineer.
The robot should be moved into position using appropriate
handling equipment such as forklift trucks or dolly trucks. The
machine should be properly balanced on the forks prior to lifting.
Important note: Do not use any part of the exterior bodywork to
lift the instrument as this may cause irreparable damage.
